Ok lil bit of a dumb question..

I'm currently running 18's on my car with the rears width being 18x9"

the tyres on the rears are 265/35/18.. what other size tyres will fit safely.. IM looking to go with something a lil cheaper therefore attempting to shy away from the 265's if possible..

Just be careful, some brands of tyres stretch better than others.

Same goes with rims, some allow MAJOR stretching others dont, its upto the type of bead!

Al, recommended Bob Jane in WaterGardens, took it to them and they fitted it, but were like no way they will go on, im like look at the tyre u took off(same sizes) and hes like, ok :D

Thats awesome man

Bob Jane refused to put 235s on my 9" rim lol

I was a bit suprised, hardly had any stretch

haha, I go a springy shop to do my rears 275's on an 11" not as much stretch, plus they nankangs and dont stretch as good, thats why id rather another set of stretchy Falkens.

What rims are they anywys Zorb(34gtr?)? Do they have a nice chunky bead?

i found i lost grip with stretched tyres i had 235s on 9" rim...

if i was u, i'd just put 245s or 255s to save $$$

How is 235's stretched on 9 inch wide rim?

I am running 235's on my stock GTR rims and they don't look stretched. It had 245's on it before.

Running 235 on a 9.5inch rim would be stretching it :P

To the original poster, there is an interesting thread of stretching tyres somewhere in the forum, unfortunately it didn't have much debate other than about the "look" of it...

Also check Wheels sizes and offsets people usually mention what they've run before it might help but you will probably find its recommended to not stretch the tyres.

Regards,

Gareth

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
